The Porsche Turbo will forever be acknowledged as the performance icon emanating from the hallowed grounds of Zuffenhausen. First conceived in the mid-1970s as the Teutonic-built 2+2 grand-touring sports car that provided stratospheric speed, handling and comfort, the Porsche Turbo quickly established itself as arguably the most desired automobile of its era. Introduced at the height of the OPEC oil-embargo crisis and a time of increasingly stringent emission standards in the U.S., the Porsche Turbo infused excitement back into the automotive landscape. This 2007 version of Porsche 911 Turbo is part of the sixth generation of this classic sports car and is built on the versatile 997 platform. True to its tradition, this is one fast car with 480 HP housed within a light 3,400-pound structure. Featuring 502 lb-ft of torque, this machine has ample low-end stump-pulling power before feeling the rush of the oncoming turbo boost. It has an electronically governed top speed of 193 MPH—although rumor has it that it is good for well north of 200 MPH if the governor is disabled, although Porsche neither confirms nor denies that claim. The 2007 Turbo features both Porsche Traction Management all-wheel drive combined with Porsche Stability Management to seamlessly deliver optimal handling, traction and stability. You would be hard pressed to find another car that provides such a cohesive package of speed and comfort at any price. This 911 Turbo is a generously optioned example with special-order Slate Grey Metallic Paint and shows 55,600 miles on the odometer. The special-order Terracotta full leather is sumptuous and features Adaptive Sport Seats, a remote CD stereo and the Makassar Trim Package—a dark hardwood sourced from Indonesia that is commonly referred to as Dark Ebony—that adorns the multi-function steering wheel, shift knob, emergency-brake handle and discreet dashboard trim. The car comes with its original owner’s manual and the original window sticker revealing an MSRP of $132,335.
